| Dominating Sports Day! |
Hey Hey!
Super super busy week! Another one for the books!
This week we had a stake sports day. Everyone came to Jinhae and we played all kinds of sports and had lunch. It was the most fun day ever, one thing I learned for sure is that I will never play Korean dodge ball again. It is unlike anything I've ever played in America! There is nothing scarier than a 50 year old Korean lady coming at you with fire in her eyes and a basketball all winded up. I went home with so many bruises I could've passed for having an abusive companion! I decided I think I'll stick with the little kid sports, group double dutch.
The best part of the day was our investigator, Diana, came with us. She stayed the whole day and absolutely loved it. She got to know all of the members and made friends with so many people in our stake. The next day we taught her and were able to teach her how to pray. She's never prayed before, so teaching her was the coolest experience ever. After our lesson as we were leaving she said, "See you Sunday!" She beat us to the punch, we hadn't even gotten to reminding her about it yet. It's amazing how prepared she is and is soaking the gospel up like a sponge.
We also were able to do a service activity with our investigator again this week. We went to another hospital and sang. The only difference was this time we let the Elders pick the songs, which put us singing in Korean and due to the lack of preparation time we had, it turned into the Elders having mics in their face while Sister Brady and I danced with the Grandmas and Grandpas there. It has become our favorite service activity! The down fall was after we went to our investigators restaurant for lunch and to teach her a lesson.....well she feel asleep in middle of our lesson. That was definitely the first time that's ever happened! We were reading in the Book of Mormon with her and because of the translation Koreans can't really understand the Book of Mormon. For some reason it's translated from English, to Chinese, then to Korean. There is so much lost between the translations and a large majority of people can't understand it. It has made me feel super thankful for the Book of Mormon this week. There is so much power that is behind each verse. I know the Book of Mormon is true and that is one of the coolest things to be able to share with people.
Love everybody!
XOXO
Love, Sister Stout
